Description
When Jesus was starting His earthly ministry He wanted twelve men to work alongside Him so He chose Twelve Men and made them disciples. They were the chosen. They eventually became His closest followers. None of them were skilled in the way we think about being educated but they had life skills. None of them was religious and they certainly had not studied Emily Post's ideas about etiquette. They were just simple everyday folk and more than likely in their day they would have blended in with the crowd. The one thing they did achieve was that they spearheaded the church movement of the day. The New Testament church flourished under their direction. However, much like you and I they were not without faults. None of them were scholars or teachers but each one learned so much from Jesus that their standing in society was respected then and still is to this day. Each disciple had a unique quality and temperament that represents each of us today. They certainly had no religious experience and did not understand religious writings and that is why they were the chosen. Christ chose them for a reason. He knew each one was radical in his own way to the point they would each go out and change the then known world. In so doing it set the stage for generations to come. God had a design for this world and using these men would accomplish His goal. Each one of them in their own way had an undying love for Christ that was evident in the work they carried on after He left this earth. As we look at each one individually we will see a little bit of ourselves in each one, perhaps even a lot. Either way these men were The Chosen for a reason, to set an example for us.
